If anyone has some advice to give about studing Business in college, let it all out!

I'm feeling pretty screwed right now because of my financial situation. I'm on disability and have been for the last few years. But I've felt horrible about it after the first year, feeling hopeless and completely reliant on the government to support me. But it appears no matter what my personal issues may be, my mental/emotional state or my sociability, the U.S. government is more scatterbrained than I am from one year to the next. And that relying solely on the government, or on the government at all, no longer just makes me feel bad about myself. It scares the crap out of me! So I got to do something. Anything to just get started.

Which brings me to the question of this thread: Do any of you have any experience with majoring in Business?

I would like to get into a Master's program in Business. Maybe something to do with analysis.

Also, Please fill me in if you know about some kind of business type jobs that a non-business B.A. graduate can telecommute to. At this point Telecommuting seems like the most likely type of job I could actually do (Right now I have a hard time relaxing and focusing when too many people are around.)

So if you know Business stuff fill me in on whatever useful things you care to share.

In your shoes I would find a good computer-related business field to get a degree in as telecommuting is very online/computer-heavy these days. I would go to a reputable local/state university with courses online (I went to University of Maryland University College and got a degree completely online) and thus get experience/degree all at once. A local institution that offers online/distance education courses is probably going to have jobs available, too (my professors worked from all over the world).
